The first step to working with Kanban in Jira is to create a project with the Kanban template by going through the following steps:
- Select the Create project option from the Projects drop-down menu.
- Choose the Kanban software development template and click on Next, as shown in the following screenshot:
- Accept the settings and click on Next.
- Enter the name and key for the new project and click on Submit.
After you have created a Kanban project, you will be taken to the Kanban board view, which looks very similar to the active sprint view of a SCRUM board. Remember, with Kanban, it is as if you are running a sprint that does not end, or that ends when the entire project is completed. Therefore, the agile board itself focuses on helping you and your team to execute the delivery.
